Sing Ireland Community Highlight September 2025

 It was a good way to start the 2025-2026 year ... being featured as the September community highlight for the Sing Ireland monthly newsletter. This was a nice surprise for us to see.

[the link referred to in the newsletter page is to our Arts+Health Case Study, here]

A choir sings on a stage. a paragraph below explains the context thus: In 2024, the Cavan Singers turned 40. As part of their celebrations, the Choir were the subject of a case study as part of Arts and Health. Arts and Health is the national website for arts and health in Ireland, funded by the Arts Council of Ireland and the HSE. It is the central information and support hub for artists, arts professionals, healthcare communities and researchers in the field of arts and health. The Case Study on the Cavan Singers documents the beneficial effects that singing together has had on the group and their wellbeing.

Our Musical Director Eileen Tackney has been busy over the summer planning our programme of songs for the year, the committee have been busy arranging our calendar. We are well into rehearsals already, and our Annual General Meeting takes place after next week's rehearsal.
